Lanson Place Causeway Bay, Hong Kong and Hong Kong Tramways have teamed up to launch the Ding Ding Qipao Tour, which will operate on weekends beginning May 17, 2025. Running from Sheung Wan to Causeway Bay, the tour is designed to highlight elements of Hong Kong’s cultural heritage.
The qipao, a traditional garment originating from the Qing dynasty (1644–1912), gained popularity in Hong Kong in the 1960s following the arrival of Shanghainese immigrants. As part of the tour, participants can rent a qipao from the clothing boutique Yan Shang Kee in Central. Garments are available in styles for women, men and children. Following this, guests will board a restored 1920s-style open-top tram and travel through central districts of the city.
The tour concludes at Causeway Bay, where participants are invited to visit Salon Lanson, located next to the tram terminus. There, they may purchase a cocktail inspired by The World of Suzie Wong, a film set in 1960s Hong Kong.
Each Ding Ding Qipao Tour pass costs HK$580 (US$74) per person. It includes a one-hour one-way journey on the TramOramic Tour, departing at 16.15 from Western Market Terminus to Causeway Bay, and qipao rental between 13.00 and 15.00, with garments to be returned the following day between 10.00 and 12.00. The themed cocktail is available at Salon Lanson for HK$68 between 17.30 and 19.30.
In addition, Lanson Place Causeway Bay is offering a stay package titled Chronicles of Nostalgia. The package includes a one-night stay and two Ding Ding Qipao Tour passes, which cover both qipao rental and tram travel. Guests will also receive two cocktails at Salon Lanson. The package is available on weekends from May 17 to August 17, 2025 and starts from HK$2,430 per room per night.
